Accommodation and Meals:
Accommodation and Foods in the Hilly region of Nepal cannot be compared with any developed countries in the world.

ATMs can be found only in major cities of Nepal like Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Bhaktapur etc. The government of Nepal has banned the import, export and use of 500 and 1000 Indian rupee notes in Nepal.
